Seventh person dies from injuries sustained from the Indiana stage collapse

A seventh victim has died from last Saturday's stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair.
According to the Indiana State Police and Marion County Coroner's Office, 24 year old Meaghan Toothman of Cincinnati has died after being on life support. Toothman was cheerleading coach at Turpin High School in Cincinnati.
The stage collapse that has killed at least seven and injured over 40, was as the result of an outflow boundary or gust front associated with a line of severe storms that moved into the area that evening. No survey was done, but Accuweather.com's Meteorologist Henry Margusity believes that the stage collapse could have been as a result of a gustnado.
Jenny Haskell, 22, a senior at Ball State University; Tammy Vandam, 42, of Wanatah; Alina Bigjohny, 23, of Fort Wayne; Glenn Goodrich, 49, of Indianapolis; Christina Santiago, 29, of Chicago; and Nathan Byrd, 51, of Indianapolis, were also killed in the stage collapse.
